A perfect Easter treat. The rollicking rhythmic text in this story is rammed with catchy refrains that beg to be shouted out. Children will love the repeated action words and thinking of new ways to act them out.

She is frantic when the other birds warn her that her chicks are in danger, but her five little chicks are a lot braver than she realises!
